Will this rust kill me - by HANNAFORD FORENSIC

The talk will also include Tianjin explosion inspections that HFS carried out, which will include assessing the extent of the contamination on the containers.
It will include the investigative approach to chemical contamination on containers. Particularly ones containing cyanide.
It will conclude with a look back at some of the interesting chemical contamination cases.
